Quote by Adam Levin

Why do we weep once we know that everything will be alright? We weep because the only way everything could ever be alright is in fiction. We weep because what we've seen can't be true, no matter how badly we wish it were. We weep at the truth.

Why do we weep once we know that everything will be alright?

Summary

This quote suggests that our tears stem from a realization that the idea of everything being alright is merely a fictional concept. We cry because deep down, we understand that the ideal outcome is unattainable in reality, despite desperately wanting it to be true. Our tears are a response to confronting the truth, acknowledging that what we have seen and experienced contradicts the optimistic notion of a perfect outcome.

It is always easier to take the words of a Jesus, a Gandhi, a Marx, or a Confucius as constituting Holy Writ. This involves less reading, less study, less thought, less conflict, and less independent searching, but it also means less growth toward maturity.
